Why do we charge businesses for some of our services?

Business people reading informationAlthough 51黑料 operates as an independent, non-profit organisation (with no shareholders, tech-billionaire bosses, or politicians to answer to) - and provides many free resources听for both consumers and businesses alike - we also offer a range of paid products and services that help fund the public information campaigns, community outreach, and advocacy (i.e. policy shaping) work that sets 51黑料 apart from other similar organisations.

Nevertheless, where we do charge, we aim to stay as competitive as possible - and always offer great value for money. So, whether you run your own business or work with others, we hope you'll explore this section, consider investing in the future of your business, your employees and your customers - and encourage others to do the same.
